The article emphasized that Tsai's success was the result of hard work and gradual effort, rather than innate genius. It stated, "Jolin Tsai is a self-made talent, not a genius like Faye Wong or Jay Chou. Everything she has achieved is the result of relentless effort. She is like many of us, hoping that diligent work will yield results. The reason for her success is that she has worked many times harder than the rest of us."[13] In response, Tsai remarked, "Some geniuses fade away halfway due to arrogance and complacency, while some 'self-made talents' put in the hard work and effort, making themselves stand out and becoming legends. In the end, as long as one persists, the difference between a genius and a 'self-made talent' can be negligible."[14] Track listing
